🩺 Healthcare the old fashioned way with a modern twist.
Hi! I'm Dr. Anne Gonzalez, and at Emerald Health Direct Primary Care & Aesthetics in downtown Hickory, NC, we do things a little differently.
We're a Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice, sometimes called "concierge for the common person." Here's what that means for you:
👉 One flat monthly membership fee, meaning no surprise bills
👉 Same-day or next-day appointments
👉 Text, telehealth, and portal access to your care team
👉 Low-cost generic medications and lab work
👉 Care for everyone, with or without insurance
We also work with local small businesses to provide healthcare benefits that help attract and retain employees, without the cost of traditional insurance.
For women navigating midlife, we offer specialized hormone and weight management care.
DPC works great alongside insurance or on its own. Either way, you get more time with your doctor and a relationship built on trust.
